While on my Family Day graffiti hunt I saw a lot of amazing pieces of street art.
But my boyfriend and I agreed this had to be one of our favorites.
King Kong Street Art
It was a favourite for so many reason. First it looks cool as hell. But beyond that the detail is just stunning! Every light on every building is so thoughtful and sky is picturesque!
I want to see more like this!!!
After the Keele Wall on the Midas building, my boyfriend and I heading back along the subway. This is where you can get an up-close view of the graffiti and street art that can be seen from the subway.
One of the first pieces of street art we saw was done by Elicser. I had the pleasure of speaking to Elicser back in November when I was writing an article on graffiti in Toronto- So when I saw his work here I was extra excited to finally get a few pics of his work up!

Across the door frame from this was a cute little salt shaker that caught my attention for some reason:
Salt o’ the earth
If you are very perceptive, you will have noticed around the corner is a chick…which means UB5000! I had seen pictures this particular UB5000 mural online before, but to see it for myself was very exciting.
Here is the entire UB5000 mural:
Everybody’s a Winner!
A little further down from this mural there is another one by UB5000:

I must say that the gangster chick is one of my favourite parts of this mural. He is really rocking out- and doing karaoke…truly I never thought karaoke could look this cool!
Also love the faux advertising of the lazer vision glasses.
“Now with lazer vision”
I took so many pictures that day!! Family Day was just wonderful- maybe one day it will resonate as a real holiday and instead of graffiti hunting I will be playing monopoly with my family screaming over a Hotel that my dad builds.
So, because I took such a massive amount of photo’s I don’t want to overwhelm everyone with such an enormous post- SO I have decided to continue doing this in installments so each piece of art can have it’s dedicated time it deserves!
Check back later for more. 🙂
